What started out to be a fantastic day, has turned into a tried and tested morning for me.

The day started off by me doing what I do almost every morning,going to get me an iced Tea to get me going for the day. So I go outside and began to get into my car and looked down and found that my front tire on the drivers side was almost flat. You talk about Blah! That’s how I felt. Blah!

So I go to the closet place to get air for the tire and to my surprise,,,,They wanted a dollar just to get air. I’m like REALLY? Just for air? Think of the cost of air that we breath,,, if we had to pay for it, how much would it be? Anyway, it being a Sunday you would think there was somewhere that I could go get it fixed in this Ocean town?

Well I was at my last wits end when,I decided to use my G.P.S. I searched it and found a few places that maybe they would be open. So after calling all the places and not finding anything open on my list, I thought, W.W.G.D, Meaning (what would God do)?

I stopped the car and said a little prayer,I sat for what seemed like 15 min. I decided to go down this little street, ‘lo and behold’ there was this little mom and pop tire shop whom had just opened up for the day!!! I couldn’t believe it! I’m like WOW!
I stopped and thanked God for his many blessings for showing me the way.The tire was fixed, and when receiving the bill, they told me the cost of fixing the tire with a total of $20.40. I thought to myself,, that’s OK with me because they were there for me when I needed them most. As I was walking out the door, they said, they hoped God would bless my day today! I said thanks,, you too and was out the door. I thought about what had just happened to me concerning the tire that I have so much to be thankful for.

Now that I am at home and have begun to write this blog and think back on itI never mentioned to anyone about the morning I was having. I think it happened to me so I could tell my story and let you know what happens in the Life Of a Preachers Daughter. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to bring to you my Life Of a Preachers Daughter Blog for today.

It only takes a moment,
In time to remember my life as a child. Although I don’t remember a lot of it, but I do remember one particular part that changed me forever.

You say what is it?
Well let me tell you, I was about 5 years old when I began to sing in church. Mom says I began singing around the age of 3. We arrived at church one Sunday morning and I remember my mother saying to someone, my baby girl can sing and she sings beautifully. God has given her the voice and now I remember why we named her Melody. Don’t get me wrong, I like the name Melody though when I got older I decide to change it to Lace as I didn’t want to know the name Melody. I know it might sound like I am not appreciative for the name they gave me but it brings me back to the time when I asked why and how did you come up with the name.

Their answer to me was,,,,,,

I dreamed,
I was walking through the grave yard and I heard someone crying out saying Melody,,,,,, Melody,,,,,,, and I’m like seriously? You got to be kidding me and they’re like NOPE! that why we decided that that was what we were to call you. WOW I said!

Do you,
Have a story like mine? Maybe you have a story you want to share! Do you know why your parents call you by the name you have today. Maybe you’ve changed your name as well! Sharing is great because you can relate to other people. It is great to meet new fans and friends that care about what you have to say and share.

Isn’t what I thought it would be. Being a Preachers Daughterwas a very hard life for me as I always had to live up to the standards of being the Preachers Daughter. Church, church, church was drilled into my head everyday of my life and at times I wondered what it would be like outside of the christian faith so in my teens I would try ways to get away from the things that Christianity had offered me. I was so tired of it all. At 22 I married a man outside of the religious realm and continued down the path that lead to no where. A place in my life where sometimes it seemed as tho’ there was no way out. Thinking back on all of it now seems like a blur, like somewhere in a time capsule hovering up in space somewhere, hoping it would make me rise up and conquer the enemy or maybe it would get me a x 3 strike out (which in fact that’s what it was) 3 strikes and I was out for the count.

The Fact Is,If it wasn’t for music, I know that I would have been some where in this world that I didn’t want to be. Maybe in the gutter somewhere, maybe on some lonely street. Now that I’m older and look back on my life, I know I would have changed somethings in my life whether it was good or bad, but the trials in my life (which I had many) and still do, make me who and what I am right now.

My hope,Is that my blog for today brings you to the realization to that you don’t have to go to church to know that Christ loves you whether you go to church or not. If you have Christ in your life and know that he lives inside you, you are his no matter how far you stray away from him.

For those of you that don’t know who I am,,,

I want to introduce myself again,

*My name is Lace Tomus*

*In this blog I want to start out by saying how much I am thankful for,

*First of all,

*I want to say how thankful I am that you are taking the time to read my “Life Of A Preachers Daughter”blog.

*For all the blessings that has been given to me. God gave me the talent of singing and I just want to share it with you.

*I am a preachers daughter, brought up in the christian faith that all are created equal.

*Living, Loving everyone, and to treat each other as you would like to be treated.

*I grew up being taught that nothing was more important than religion and so,

*I began a journey of writing Gospel music. Over the years and being in my teens,

*I came to the realization that there was a life outside of Christianity as far as music was concerned, so I began to write Country Music.

*I guess I wanted more in life then just church. My family was a traveling evangelist family and we went from church to church 7 days a week.

*Now I'm not saying that I want to be anything or anybody else any more but I have to admit that there was a time in my life where I wanted to be on The Grand Ol Opry singing for all the nation.

*I just wanted everyone to know about me and most of all my voice. As the years went by,

*I began to think that none cared about me and no one wanted to hear me.

*I began to down my choices in life and become some one that just wasn't me.

*At 22 I met a man who I thought care about me and loved me for who I was inside, not just the outside. I was so insecure with my looks and began to eat to fill the void of being not so the person I had been the year before and so I ate and ate and ate and to the weight. of 489Lbs.

*To tell you the truth I was at the point of suicide. You talk about NOT being the person that I once was I WAS THERE!

*I went from 1 marriage to 3 marriages and a boyfriend whom which took me for the ride of my life, which was by the way, the one who stole everything from me.

*After 4 years of living hell,,,

*I was to the point of no return (at least thats what I thought)

*then less then a year later, while at my heaviest weight I met someone and he taught me to love myself and never give up on myself. Showing me to eat other things then what I was eating.

*It took me about 6 months to lose 150 lbs and now I am so much happier inside than I have ever been.

*Now I'm not saying that you need a man to tell you that you can do it, as not every situation is the same, mine was just something that I had to go through I guess to get me to the state of mind that I am today and the woman that I am today.

*I also want to say that it does NOT matter what size you are, But what DOES matter is that you must ALWAYS believe in yourself and don't let anyone change the way YOU ARE.

*YOU are worth YOU!
